"Don't worry, Vega. If you have to go to prison, it will only be temporary, too"

Jersey City City Council President Mariano Vega, one of the 44 people arrested in July as part of the massive New Jersey corruption scandal, submitted a "temporary" letter of resignation as head of the council to the City Clerk. He remains on the council in his at-large seat.By riffkey
Something tells me this resignation is not as voluntary as Mr. Vega would like us to believe.By craigoftruth
I agree with you riffkey and I hope it is permanent, his stepping down.By baligirl
Kenny pleads guilty and then Vega finally resigns (temporarily, lol)??? The saga continues.By eastwickdude
Dude, I believe in innocent until proven guilty, but the way folks are singing to the feds you and Healy are going down.By zderic
This is more nonsense from Vega.
He needs to resign completely from government and deal with his court date.
The city needs a council without significant distractions in their lives, such as imminent criminal court appearances or conflicts of interest, like working for the state or the county.By westernmassf
I would suggest having the State of NJ if Vega is convicted strip all of his public pensions and the same for the other members of this unsavory lot.
... What a jerk -- good riddance to the "horse trader."By Flargh!
Don't worry, Vega. If you have to go to prison, it will only be temporary, too. Just several years, that is!By deceiverbo
Just give it up Mr. Vega. The feds have a 100% conviction rate with these type of cases. You're only making your lawyers rich. Go to trial, lose and get 4x the time. You should have listened to your constituents and not kiss the asses of the developers.By donbele
Mr. Mariano Vega is a corrupt politician that does not have principles.
He's a low class, gutless person to accept his wrongs and resign his position.
Mr. Mariano Vega Crowned himself The King of all corrupt politician.By lilche69

It's the corrupt leading the corrupt. The ones who have been uncovered and the ones who have not, and the ones who are about to be uncovered. New Jersey Corruption and YOU! Perfect Together.By leftjc
Is he going to temporarily resign from his High Paying Appointed job? This is a prime example of why County Government should be abolished. All it serves to do is give municipal politicians a second job!!By bullett
Another crown jewel of the "HDMO" bites the bullet.
